In Zhao Yuqi's work, the use of athleisure clothing aims to convey enthusiasm for life and an attitude of embracing a free and low-key existence. It also seeks to provide urban youth attire that affords comfort in varied settings. The design finds inspiration in leisure sports popular among young people and borrows stylistic cues from the fourth-century calligrapher Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Professor Zang Yingchun supervised this work.
